I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Obuasi but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Si-woo
Sure. The biggest one is rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale), $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you, Si-woo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mapo.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Johannesburg
wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Mapo
Thinking of you and your family, Si-woo. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mapo.
